There’s a Lot to Discover on Hayling Island
If you want to see the sights of Hayling Island, there are many ways to do that. Take a bike or a hike.
Enjoy a variety of walks with the Hayling Island group taking in the picturesque sea views.
This group offers a short walk with a gentle pace for beginner or slower walkers to enjoy.
The longer walk enables those who enjoy a slightly faster paced stroll to enjoy the Hayling coastline whilst socialising with friends.
Share a morning stroll with friends taking in the clean sea air and ever changing environment, returning for refreshments.
This is mainly a flat route. There are two short hills at the Rowlands Castle end of the route. The majority of the route is on cycle path, but 3 short sections are on road:
1. from The Recreation Ground, The Fairway, Rowlands Castle to the bottom of the hill in Durrants Road
2. the section of road between Langstone Road and Langstone Bridge on to Hayling Island. The pavements on both sides of Langstone Bridge (only) are cycle paths.
3. the southern loop of Staunton Ave, Sea Front and Sinah Lane.
The Hayling Billy Coastal Route is produced from consolidated scalpings, with a top-dressing, there is some tarmac and some concrete and it can be a bit lumpy in places. Almost all road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I bicycled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was O.k.. There are spots where a spot of would choose to walk but these places are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I pedaled the route the day following torrential downpours which pulled leaves off trees etc. a few pools about but on the whole it was pretty well drained.
